Better question at this point would be 'how many world wars have they seen already?'

Russia recently began pulling Soviet era armor out of cold storage so.... probably from there. So yea, I know you may have been slightly joking but it's accurate. These are old mostly out of order tanks being revived in a last ditch effort for Putin to not get Muammar Gaddafi'd on Facebook live in the coming years.

They've been fielding old Soviet armor like T-62s for a while now.

Right, but from what I believe those were their reserve tanks meaning they were either serviceable or usable tanks in storage for use at a later time. These old fuckers are neither serviceable or useable. It's hardware that was NEVER meant to be used again and therefore this equipment will be found to be largely unusable or simply stolen long ago.

Agreed, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel
